The mysterious former City striker posted a second tweet in Italian, reading " Forza Milan comunque e sempre " - translated as "Go on Milan, no matter how and forever ".

It is of course not the first time Balotelli has left his fans confused, after revealing the infamous "Why Always Me' t-shirt during City's 6-1 win over Manchester United in 2011.

Again that time, no one was quite sure what the 23-year-old was referring to, with reports suggesting he had blown up his bathroom with fireworks.

Since his return to his native Italy, Balotelli has not been too far away from the headlines, after being reprimanded for smoking in the toilet of a train and crashing a luxury car - while waiting at traffic lights.

Reports suggest he is struggling to cope with the pressure of playing for the legendary club and could seek a return to the Premier League.
